Furniture

"In 1991 I moved to a small mill town in the middle of Vancouver Island. I was drawn less by the natural beauty of the setting than to the scale of the studio/workspace I could afford there.

The space I found was 20,000 square feet on three floors, built in 1928 of first-growth Douglas Fir. The building was in a state of neglect and decay, while the material it was built from had retained its integrity. I found inspiration in the wood, and began to dismantle parts of the building to produce furniture.

Al my boxes, chests and furniture are made from this ancient Douglas Fir. The three panel screen, is made from a Red Cedar felled in Burnaby Mountain in 2003, part of the 'Two Trees Project' undertaken by SFU Community Trust."
